Silicon-Info VS Hasura

It's a free, open-source utility that someone has generously released to the public. I find it useful. I often install and run lots of different apps and open-source things, and sometimes it's convenient to be able to just look at an icon in the menu bar to confirm whether something is running under Rosetta or not. Other people find it useful too. Just because you don't have a use for it, doesn't mean nobody else in the world does either.

> Curious to see what, if anything, is running under translation

There's a useful app called Silicon Info on Github (https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info) and also on the Mac App Store.

It adds a menu bar icon that switches according to the currently-focused app's architecture.

{ pkgs ? import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/b58ada326aa612ea1e2fb9a53d550999e94f1985.tar.gz") {} }: pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation rec { pname = "silicon-info"; version = "1.0.3"; src = pkgs.fetchurl { url = "https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info/releases/download/1.0.3/Silicon.Info.app.zip"; sha256 = "raa6RmXiqilz4vrvWfMSzIKuaJUFI2xMLUErw64Y0Pk="; }; installPhase = '' mkdir -p $out/Applications mv "Silicon Info.app" $out/Applications ''; meta = with pkgs.lib; { description = "Silicon Info is a tiny menu bar application allows the user to quickly view the architecture of the currently running application."; license = licenses.mit; homepage = "https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info"; platforms = platforms.darwin; }; }

Of course, it is free and open source (check out the code on Github!).

If you already own an Apple Silicon Mac and want to know which apps are running natively as opposed to via Rosetta 2 translation, you can download Silicon Info and see a report of the apps

I'm not sure OP is the developer, but moreso someone trying to just share.. mac app news. I feel the picture and description is self explanatory if you have one, but the full github release is here: https://github.com/billycastelli/Silicon-Info

> 2. ORMs do not hide SQL nastiness.

This is certainly true!

I mean: ORMs are now well known to "make the easy queries slightly more easy, while making intermediate queries really hard and complex queries impossible".

I think the are of ORMs is over. It simply did not deliver.

If a book on SQL is --say-- 100 pages, a book on Hibernate is 400 pages. So much to learn just to make the easy queries slightly easier to type? Just not worth it.

I prefer jooq any day over ORMs. And dont get me started over what tools like Hasuna have to offer.

There are also some languages (forgot the names) that are SQL-done-right. Select in the back, more type safe, more logic, more in the same steps as the query gets executed. These need to be adopted by PG and MySQL and we're good to go. (IMHO)

Another strategy is to model access control declaratively and enforce it in the application layer. ZenStack (built above Prisma ORM) and Hasura are good examples of this approach. The following code shows how access policies are defined with ZenStack and how a secured CRUD API can be derived automatically.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Hi! If you’ve ever thought about something like using GraphQL for something like this.. You might like Hasura. (Obligatory I work for Hasura)

We’ve got an OpenAPI import and you can setup cron-jobs or one-off jobs and do things like load in headers from the environment variables to pass through. There isn’t currently an easy journey for chaining multiple calls together without writing any code at all, but you can wrap pretty much any API endpoint via OpenAPI import or a custom action, and you can even make minor edits to things like the API contract format to change aliases/naming.

Our goal is to join all the things, databases and API’s. Most people know us for instant GraphQL API’s that give you CRUD on your database, but we also wrap APIs.

Not sure if something like this would fit your use-case and do check out some of the other things mentioned, but depending what you are trying to do I think Hasura might potentially work.

Nested Mutation - 113 thumbs up, and still open since 2019... another case of not listening to the users?

Hasura is an open-source real-time GraphQL API server with a strong authorization layer on your database. You can subscribe to database events via webhooks. It can combine multiple API servers into one unified graphQL API. Hasura is a great tool to build any CRUD GraphQL API. Hasura does not have any authentication mechanisms; e.g., you need an auth server to handle sign-up and sign-in.
